Why I used the blog:

Out of all of the other communication channels I used the blog as it allowed me to share information with my team. This method is more effective then email as it allows all of us to see the information on the blog plus it lets us edit information and also allows us to comment on other peoples work. A benefit of using the blog is that its time affective for example if you an email you would have to usually wait for them to access and reply whereas with a blog they would get the information quicker and will reply straight away. We could have also used facebook to share information but we did not do that as other people who are not involved can get involved or steal our information whereas in the blog the information was only between me and my team for example invitation only.

Other social networks could have been used for example twitter, MSN, Google plus etc. The reason why we did not choose any of these channels to communicate our information is because they would not allow us to secure connections.

Another reason why we did not use facebook etc is because we could not access them within the collage environment whereas we can access the blog anywhere.
